I've looked for awhile but can't find the info I need. My design uses some steel and aluminum tubing. An aluminum tube for the main spar and some steel tubes for subframes, these will not be truss structures but simple cantilever beams.

What I'm looking for is some kind of a chart or graph that will show the cantilever and beam bending strength of different diameter and wall thickness tubes.
